Comment on James Gunn's Superman Feels Like the Product of AI

Comments

They're saying 'Superman' is really about Palestine (and/or Ukraine) because there's a scene set in Africa. (But I think that says more about National Review than the movie...)

I've just never liked "Superman" stories. It seems like they first have to show all the evil that his various villains are performing... so Superman can then be "good" (by punishing those evil-doers). This movie did a better job of giving Superman an actual personality/social life -- but he still has to get back to being "good" in the face of "evil". And I've just always found that a little tedious.

(Although old-timers may remember that Seanbaby.com hated the Superfriends more than anyone...)
